As a new series, I thought I would start posting a few things we do for fun here at Cedar Ridge. With all of this open space to explore, new little critters to discover and plenty of fresh air, we've been discovering all kinds of new things to help pass the time.
Last night in the early evening, we had the first annual Cedar Ridge Road Race. Here's a rundown of the rules...
-inappropriate footwear required (this includes wellies, crocs and flip flops)
-starting point at the edge of the stone walkway, toes may not cross the line while in the starting position.
-the route continues around the loop of the driveway and back to the starting point. It is the runner's choice to go around the loop clockwise or counter-clockwise.
-official running times will be recorded for each runner via Dad's iPhone.
-no cutting corners through the lawn or you will be disqualified!
Also in the rules...Dad has to participate in the last race of the day just before the sun goes down!
How wonderful. Delightful photos of the kids.

How fun. If you're kids have never played 'kick the can', you really need to introduce them to that as well. Great kid fun. And, what a beautiful setting.

Beautiful story, kids and home. You are truly blessed.
I've been reading your blog since you first announced the purchase of your property. My family and I are praying for God's plans for us. We hope give up our lifestyle here in NJ and purchase land where we will be able to build our home and small family farm so that we can have a sustainable life. Reading your blog, give me hope. Thanks for sharing.

No offense, but if there's a facebook like button, it'll be much easier for me to share.
